Travis Nash is a fictional character from the Australian soap opera Home and Away, played by actor Nic Testoni.
In late December 1994, TV Week's David Brown confirmed Testoni had been signed for a 12-week role, with filming to begin in January.
[1] Testoni began his career as a model, but he found working on Home and Away to be more enjoyable because he was acting alongside people of a similar age.
"[2] His character Travis is introduced as a witness to the death of Laura Bonnetti (Claudia Buttazonni), who was playing chicken on the railway with Curtis Reed (Shane Ammann).
[2] Serene Coneeley of Inside Soap stated that he is "no smooth sophisticate but his rugged good looks make up for his lack of social graces".
Writers gave him a love interest in the form of Donna Bishop (Nicola Quilter), who has just broken up with her partner Andrew Warren (Adrian Lee).
[2] When Kelly Watson (Katrina Hobbs) spotted a melanoma on his back, Travis realised that he had been spending too much time in the sun.
Travis attended the local high school with Donna Bishop, whom he dated, Rob Storey (Matthew Lilley) and Steven Matheson (Adam Willits).
Travis arranged for Kibiri's younger sister, Stephanie (Fleur Beaupert), to be smuggled out of the country and he returned to Australia.
Several months later, Travis returns after breaking off his engagement with Donna and moves back into his house to find two new tenants, local doctor Kelly Watson and old schoolfriend Steven.
Travis rents his house out to Kelly's replacement at Northern Districts hospital, Lachlan Fraser (Richard Grieve) and Jesse McGregor (Ben Unwin).
They look after Pippa's remaining foster children; Sam Marshall (Ryan Clark, Tiegan Brook (Sally Marrett) and Justine Welles (Bree Desborough.
When Joel, Natalie and the kids are left homeless after a confrontation with Robert Perez (Toni Poli), Travis and Rebecca invite them to move in.
Travis and Rebecca jump at the chance of work on a tall ship and leave Summer Bay quietly, after Joel and Natalie agree to take care of the house and Justine and Peta Janossi (Aleetza Wood).
